Best Dates to Retire in 2013

Best Dates to Retire 2013 On the following calendars, the dates highlighted in blue signify the last day of the month. That’s always considered a good day to retire because you become an annuitant the following day. You’ll be paid your salary for that whole month and your first retirement check will be for the next month. Under the Civil Service Retirement System, the days highlighted in yellow — the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of the month — are sometimes good, because retirement benefits still will kick in the following day. Another important set of days — the end of the leave periods for most federal employees — are highlighted in gray. If you retire in the middle of a leave period, you don’t accrue any sick or annual leave for that period -- it is not pro-rated. This means that periods at the end of a month (or the first three days of the month under CSRS) that are also the end of a leave period are good times to retire.
